Basic Rag Doll Hair Options / Bonnet
Making hair for a basic rag doll is easiest if your doll will be wearing a bonnet. To make a bonnet, cut a circle of fabric about double the size of your doll's head(from top to bottom), cut 2. Next, sew the 2 pieces together, leaving an opening to turn it right side out.
After turning it right side out, sew the opening closed and gather along the lines below(---- = gather line). The finished bonnet should look like the picture on the right.
To make the hair shown above, cut strips of yarn for the bangs and pony tails or braids. As you are sewing the head together, sew the yarn in place(between the layers of fabric). ---- = the sewing line.
